Process

There was an initial phone interview that was incredibly easy. He didn't really ask me much about myself, nor did he tell me a whole lot about Etsy. He then asked me to do a few CoderPad problems.

I was told that there wasn't a specific position I was applying for. Instead, after interviewing me, they would see where I fit in their company and what position would be best for me. Personally, I find that really strange.

After the first interview, I was told a day or two later that they wanted to do a second interview. The second interview happened almost two weeks later and was with a different person. Again, there weren't many questions about myself or my background, but they wanted me to do a CoderPad problem.

Questions

What do you know about Etsy?

Technically, what is something you worked on that you would go back and do differently, and how would you do it differently?

Coderpad: Given a function that takes in x and y, have the method print out a multiplication table of x columns and y rows.

Coderpad: Given an array of ints, how do you find the max int?

Coderpad: (this is the literal text of the problem) Write a function that takes an array of decimal weights that sum to 1 and returns the array index of one of those weights. The weights correspond to percentages indicating proportionally how often to show a particular version of an experiment.
